Line drawing of Narmer Palette:
The original executed in greywacke or schist was discovered by Quibell in 1894 in Kom el-Ahmar (Hierakonpolis). The decoration commemorates the victories of Narmer. Each side is surmounted by Hathor-heads flanking a serekh containing the royal name. Reverse: Narmer, wearing the white-crown, followed by a sandal-bearer, brandishes a mace and prepares to strike a captive, before - a Horus-falcon surmounts a cluster of Delta-vegetation and holds a prisoner, below - two slain enemies are represented.
Obverse - Narmer, wearing the red-crown, followed by sandal-bearer and officials and standard-bearers, proceeds to the Temple of Horus and inspects two rows of bound and decapitated enemies, the circular grinding area is enclosed by the serpentine necks of two mythological quadruped beasts, tethered and held by attendants, below - the king is portrayed as a bull trampling on an enemy and destroying a fort.
